WILLIAM VJAKIJEY, OF INDIAN LAKE, NEW YORK.

SAVJ-TOOL.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, WILLIAM VVAKLEY, citizen of the United States, residing at Tndian Lake, in the county of Hamilton and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Saw Tools, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to saw tools for gaging and jointing the saw teeth etc., and

aan object of the invention is to provide a device of this class that will embody means whereby the drag or raker teeth of the saw can be readily ground to their proper sizes.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of the class described above wherein simple and novel means are employed for gaging and setting the drag teeth.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the nature of the invention is better disclosed and it will of course be understood that changes within the specified scope of the claims can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Tn the drawings, forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved tool. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the tool in use with a finishing file. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 looking at the device from the reverse side. Fig. 4; is a detail section taken on t-he line 4-11 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a detail top plan view of the tool.

My improved tool or device comprises a stock 1 which is provided with a centrally located passage. Upon the upper edge, the stock 1 is provided with a pair of spaced right angularly extending abutment plates 3, and immediately between these plates is disposed a gage member 4t. This gage member is provided with a pair of oppositely eX- tending wings or flanges 5, which are movable with the gage member and are adapted to facilitate its perfect adjustment. The stock 1 is provided with a horizontally disposed rib 6 from which arises a pair of spaced pins 7. These pins are disposed in guide passages 8 which are formed in the wings 5 of the gage member. Outwardly of the ends of the wings 5, the rib 6 carries set screws 9 which are adjustable toward or away from spaced ribs 10. The construction just described is such that a flat file may be placed between the ribs 6 and 10 respectively Specification of Letters Patent.

and securely held in its operative position by the screws 9. The file when thus held in the position named may be effectively used for the purpose of jointing the saw as will be understood. The stock 1 carries an adjusting screw 11 which is engaged with the gage plate so that the latter can be adjusted vertically. The gage plate has formed therein an elongated raker tooth receiving slot, 1a.

The stock 1 carries a pair of spaced members 12 which are provided with alining recesses 13 which are adapted to receive a smoothing or finishing file.

The stock 1 is provided with a set groove 14 and adjacent to the said groove, the said stock is provided with an adjustable gage screw 15. In o aeration, after the teeth have been properly s arpened, they may be inden pendently operatively positioned in the set groove 14 and by striking the body portion of the saw and moving it toward said screw 15 the teeth can be accurately bent.

A member 16 is formed upon one of the longitudinal edges of the stock 1 and as illustrated this member is provided at one end with the punch set groove 17. The member 16 carries a plurality of gage screws 18 which are adapted to be operated whereby it can be readily determined whether or not the teeth of the saw have been properly set.

The tool herein described and shown is eX tremely simple in construction and embodies effective and accurate means whereby the jointing and setting operation of a saw can be greatly facilitated.

If desired the teeth of the saw can be independently inserted in the groove 14 and the stock 1 may be grasped by the hand of the operator and used as a lever. The member 16 is lextended beyond one end of the stock and serves as a support for the hand of the operator when the stock is used in the manner just mentioned. The stock l is provided at one side with spaced longitudinally extending strips 20 against which the blade or body portion of the saw may be placed so that the teeth of the saw can be correctly po- 1sitioned in the slot formed in the gage inem- I claim A saw tool of the character specified comprising a stock having spaced abutment plates along one of its longitudinal edges, a gage member movable between the said plates and formed to provide a raker toothreceiving opening;

located beneath the rst named rib, set;

oppositely extendingV l screws on the first named rib and :1 dj ustabl c toward or away from the said plurality ot ribs, and a set screw operatively connected with the said gage member.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence o1 two Witnesses.
